Sister Maria Jones, a nurse of the order of
the "White Cross" attached to the ambu-
lanceS of Gordon's division was attending
the wounded in the rear of the trenches be-
fore Richmond. The time was the winter
of 1S64-5. Grant was drawing his Gordon
tightly around the doomed city. Without
those battle worn lines were all the pomp
and circumstance of war; within, its suffer
ing and desolation. The men in the rifle pits
were stretched to the utmost limit consistent
with safety, and the fighting was incessant
and severe.
One day Sister Maria was called on to at
tend a young surgeon, whose professional
ardor on the field had subjected him to a
dangerous wound. She started back at the
sight of his pale, inanimate face, then quietly
settling herself with new resolve, she hardly
left his side for two days. He was then taken
to Richmond, where better accommodations
could be secured to him. After his departure
Sister Maria continued her work of mercy
as usual, yet there were graver lines upon
her face and at times a soft, introspective
light in her eye, while she might have been
detected in committing certain thoughts to
her diary that she would never willingly
have made public. The next entry after the
wounded surgeons departure ran thus:
"He is gone, and SO ends my brief dream.
He recovered his strength sufficiently to en-
dure removal and during one lucid interval
he recognized me. 1T happened that 7 alone
was by his side. His brown eyes opened
with a bewildered glare; he looked around
him YEARLY, then fixed his gaze upon my
face. In spite of myself I blushed and
looked down. Then 1 heard him murmur, as
if to himself:
SIT must--my little recruit-ran off,
~ dared not raiss my eyes, though I
could afteIward have bitten out my tongue
at my own stupidity. might have given
him one word-one sign even of recognition;
but no; must stand there down faced like
fool, until a gasping sigh aroused me- He
had tainted dead away. He never seemed to
know me after that All mel Perhaps it is
just as well, for in this terrible hurly burly
of war we are not likely to meet again."

THE eETTYsBURe REUNION.

The Gettysburg reunion of Union and ex-
confederate soldiers is in all respects an inter
esting and dramatic incident. 1t was happily
conceived, well arranged, we'll managed, and
seems to have yielded harvest of good feel
ing. Everything connected with it is historic.
1t takes place on the field of one of the great
battles of the war, on the anniversary Of the
battle itself, and between the surviving mem
bers of brigades that met in hand to- hand
conflict in one of the fercest fights of the
war. Gettysburg was the turning point of
the war, and it is hardly exaggeration to say
that the repulse of the celebrated attack by
Pickett's division was the turning point of Get
tysburg There has been a great deal written
about this attack and repulse by military his
torians and by surviving participants on both
Sides However they have differed as to de-
tails in describing the events that led up to
the movement or that attended its execution,
all are agreed that the attack itself was one of
the grandest sights ever seen on battle field,
and the repulse one Of the most disastrous
and overwhelming. 1t decided Gettysburg,
and Gettysburg was the beginning of the end
of the Rebellion. This was on the Sd of
July, 1868, and now, the Sd OF July, 1887,
the surviving soldiers on both sides meet again
in friendly reunion on the very field where
twenty-four years ago, they met in the deadly
shock of battle. The idea was appropriate.
The reunion was perhaps the most interesting
of the kind that has been held since
tho war. The proceedings were digniied and
impressive, the speeches eloquent and patri-
otto, and the whole affair seems to have
been full of the kind of good feeling appro-
pirate to the occasion. Nothing could be
fairer, franker or finer than the expressions of
the Southern speakers touching the past. the
present and the future Of the country and
their attitude towards our common govern.
lment and flag. Let us hope those expressions
represent the general sentiment of the South,
that it may grow and strengthen from year to
year, and that each succeeding anniversary of
Gettysburg may find all parts of the country
knit more closely together in the bonds of
common citizenship.

THE NATIONS DAY.
families!

Americans are the only people who cele-
brate their national birthday. Other peoples
have holidays commemorative of events of
national significance, but only Americans cell
citrate the anniversary of their national birth.
The fact is peculiar as the day and its celebra-
ton are to Americans. It is good thing for
a nation to be able to point with pride to its
birth, and to recur with ever-increasing graft
trde to the circumstances of its origin. Other
nations can trace much longer pedigree than
we can, and follow their family-tree back
until the line is lost in the dark ages Let
them do it; we are content to be the youngest
of the family, and to have the shortest
pedigree. Our history is short, but it
is honorable and interesting Perhaps we
have accomplished about as much in one CEN
tury as some other nations have in several.
What we lack in antiquity we have made up
in energy. And there is this advantage in
having an exact record of the date and circum-
stances of our national birth-we know it was
thoroughly honorable, that the occasion was
one of the most impressive in human history,
events which have had wonderfully benef-
cial influence on the welfare of mankind.
This is something to make thankful and
proud. Such birthday is worth celebrating.
And it ought to make men more genuinely
patriotic and better citizens to feel
that they are sharers in the legacy
left by the fathers Of the Republic. They
were great and good men who did a great and
good work wisely and well. Shall we, their
descendants, willfully wreck or wantonly waste
the magnificent estate of liberty which they
bequeathed to us7 The celebration of the
national birthday ought to carry with it some
remembrance of the national founders, of the
principles that animated them, and of the
spirit in which they worked Every Fourth
of July ought to make every American a
better citizen. Does it? Upon the answer to
this question somewhat depends whether or
not we are worthy of such birthday.

adjust itself to the new order of things.

THE fact that General Comfy, the editor of
United States minister at the Sandwich
Islands gives weight to his views concerning
the present complications there. He says:
1.-THE trouble threatened in the Sandwich
Islands is probably owing to the fact that the
foreign residents, who pay all the taxes, grow
weary of having the public finances voted
away by the native representatives, who pay
no taxes, to reimburse them and foreign
adventures for holding Office and to pay for
triumphal progresses through foreign coun-
tries by the King and Queen, and for other
royal soft snaps. A great part of the foreign
property holders who suffer these impositions
are Americans. There are also, however,
many Englishmen, Germans and others. A
large majority of the foreign property holders
are anxious to have the United States estab-
lish a protectorate over the islands for the
better security of their property, and
to secure relief from the methods
of the native government. The establishment
of protectorate would, however, disturb our
amicabe relations with foreign powers while
securing no advantage to us which is not
assured by the maintenance of the independ
ence of the islands. So that, in the event of
any uprising or revolution against the present
government in the Hawaiian Islands, the
effo. is of the United States should be directed
towards the substitution, if necessary of
another home government and to efforts TO
prevent the interference of the other foreign
powers, all of whom are most anxious to
secure a foothold and control in the islands"
This view of the case seems to accord with
good diplomacy and common sense well.
The government and people Of the United
States have some interests in the Sandwich
